Jambalaya Pasta- Win $250 from Luxury Pasta

Luxury Pasta is having a Holiday Recipe Contest. Help my recipe win by voting everyday and you will be entered to win in Luxury Pasta's $250 Gift Card Giveaway!

I was so excited to get the chance to work with Luxury Pasta on a recipe contest. Luxury Pasta is a staple in my pantry. I grew up with always having it. In a family where pasta is served at least 3 times a week, how could I not look at Luxury Pasta as part of my family?

I was asked to be a part of Luxury's Holiday Recipe Contest.

Jambalaya Pasta is one of my favorite Holiday dishes. It is easy to make and you can make up a big batch to take to parties or feed a big family. It is a perfect take along casserole. My family will eat it hot or cold.

The greatest part is...it uses up some of that leftover

Thanksgiving Turkey!!!
